hi everybody!. just bought a 1979 karmann bug convertable. supposedly
26000 original miles. but i finallly noticed the odometer wasn't registering but ummmm bout one outta every 3 miles. runs great, no oil added in 400 miles. good body work. but i have since noticed that the floors are mighty rusty and the piece where the jack fits is rusted out in the front. most of the rail is solid, just about an eight inch strip in the front. back part solid and will pick up the car with the jack. my question is: what the name of that part, and is it replaceabe? where's the best place to buy one, and the floor bottoms? while i'm at it: also what kinda gas milege should i be getting. it has fuel injection. is the ac worth fixing? and my last question: why will the thing crank every time the suddenly not start (unless rolled off) when stopping? sorry for the many questions. will start paying more attention to this group since i'm an owner now...promise. thanks for you alls patience. thanks in advance.jim
